Book Reviews of the Behind My Eyes: Poems (with audio CD)
Customer Review: Memory and Imagination
Summary: 4 Stars
There are very beautiful poems in this collection. I have always admired Li-Young Lee's early work, and I see how he has grown here. He has always been a champion of the power of memory within; he continues exploring this theme, interfacing it with his very nimble imagination. I taught several of these poems to my students and they described the work as "soft", "naked" and "grasping", which I think is a lovely characterization of his work. The breadth of his imagination is extraordinary, and makes these poems works that can be read over and over, and still be deeply satisfying. I found the CD to be excellent, as the intimacy of his voice extends the intimacy of the poems. A great tool for teachers of poetry; Lee reads his work serenely, and with quiet and inviting emotion.
